<ALL> I just got my two sets of IFG wheels.

Hi all,

I just received my two sets of 42.5mm 17x9 IFG wheels. These things are light!
They look awesome too. I highly recommend them. You can see the wheels at
"www.ifgwheels.com" or you can call Chris of Bullet Performance at (714)
556-4269 (an IFG dealer).

 I will be using the wheels for the track. I put a set of the old style 255/40
BFG R1's on four of them. They 255's look perfect on the 17x9 IFG's. On the
other set, I'll mount 245/45 Kumho's (the Kumho's run wider). For some reason,
these wheels make it easy to mount tires on them, even the stiff walled R1's. I
did it myself and it was my first time... Piece of cake. They balanced easily
too, also my first time. Not bad for a computer engineer... I could have done
them faster too, if I didn't have the Bullet guys laughing so hard behind me...

Anyway, tomorrow I'll try them on my car to see if what size spacers I'll need
on the front. I am also installing the Turner wheel studs all around. They make
wheel mounting much easier, especially with spacers. FYI, on my car I have the
Bilstein/H&R Sport suspension with swapped strut bearings. I've already rolled
the rear fenders since I've been using 255 R1's on 17x8 BBS wheels for a while.

I'll let you know how it turns out,
Theo.

P.S. I do not work for IFG or Bullet Perfornance, etc. etc. etc. I am just a
very satisfied customer.
